Podcasting (creating digital audio recordings for your classroom) is a simple and easy process that only requires minimal equipment - it's cheap! Can you imagine recording a weekly message to your students and parents, putting it on your TeacherWeb (for CCBOE teachers) page, and not having to spend lots of classroom (or personal) funds to do it - no more tape recorders or cassette tapes. All you need is a free program to record/edit/save the file and a computer microphone. What is podcasting?
